Jet propulsion engine
A jet engine comprises a front turbofan engine 2, and at least one rear turbofan or turbojet engine 4. The rear engine(s) may be coupled by a connecting tube 3, to the bypass duct 5, of the front engine. Means are provided for switching between a first state in which the air inlet(s) of the rear eng...

Zusammenfassung: | A jet engine comprises a front turbofan engine 2, and at least one rear turbofan or turbojet engine 4. The rear engine(s) may be coupled by a connecting tube 3, to the bypass duct 5, of the front engine. Means are provided for switching between a first state in which the air inlet(s) of the rear engine(s) are coupled to the bypass duct (during supersonic flight or during acceleration to supersonic speed) and a second state in which the air inlet(s) of the rear engine(s) are disconnected from the bypass duct (during take-off). The means for switching between the two states may involve rotational, or linear transverse, displacement of the rear engine(s) (figs. 1-3, 6-7), rotation of the connecting tube (figures 4 and 5), or linear transverse displacement of the front engine (fig.8). |
